These notes are an expanded version of an introductory lecture on contact geometry given at the 2001 Georgia Topology Conference. They are intended to present some of the "topological" aspects of three dimensional contact geometry.
The short history of L.Kantorovich's transport problem and his metric in the framework of his activity in mathmatics and economics during a long and difficult period. We did not mention the recent impetuious developement of application of…
This is expanded text of a lecture delivered by the author at the conference "Mat\'eriaux pour l'Histoire des Math\'ematiques au XX\`eme si\`ecle", which took place in Nice in January 1996. The task was to describe one area in the…
We give a translation from Russian into English of the article "In memory of Igor Dmitrievich Ado" written by A.V. Dorodnov and I.I. Sakhaev and published in Izv.\ Vyssh.\ Uchebn.\ Zaved.\ Mat.\ no. 8, (1984), 87--88. It is an orbituary for…
These are corrections to the second edition of the book ``Vertex algebras for beginners'', University Lecture Series, 10, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 1998.
This is a write-up of introductory remarks that I made at the UIC conference in honor of Lawrence Ein's 60th birthday. It presents an informal survey of some of Ein's work, interspersed with stories and reminiscences.
This is Chapter 1 in the book General Relativity and Gravitation: A Centennial Perspective, Edited by Abhay Ashtekar (Editor in Chief), Beverly Berger, James Isenberg, Malcolm MacCallum. Publisher: Cambridge University Press (June, 2015).…
This is an expanded writeup of a talk given by the second author at Erik Balslev's 75th birthday conference on October 1-2, 2010 at Aarhus University. We summarize our work on Fermi's golden rule and higher order phenomena for hyperbolic…
Convergence spaces are a generalization of topological spaces. The category of convergence spaces is well-suited for Algebraic Topology, one of the reasons is the existence of exponential objects provided by continuous convergence. In this…
The survey gives an overview of the achievements in topology of real algebraic varieties in the direction initiated in the early 70th by V.I.Arnold and V.A.Rokhlin. We make an attempt to systematize the principal results in the subject.…
These short lecture notes provide a brief introduction to the field of homology growth. They are composed out of two lectures, which I have given at the Borel seminar 2017 in Les Diablerets. We give a proof of L\"uck's approximation…
During the Foundations of Future Communication Systems (FFCS) conference in Braunschweig, a dedicated memorial session was held in honor of Dr. Vladimir (Volodya) Sidorenko (1949-2025). The session, chaired by Minglai Cai, brought together…
An Alexandroff space is a topological space in which every intersection of open sets is open. There is one to one correspondence between Alexandroff $T_0$-spaces and partially ordered sets (posets). We investigate Alexandroff…
This is a short survey article written for the Erd\H{o}s centennial conference in Budapest in 2013. The main two topics covered are Szemer\'edi's theorem and its ramifications, and the Erd\H{o}s discrepancy problem. There is an emphasis on…
This is a report of the author's talk at Kinosaki Algebraic Geometry Symposium 2018. We discuss some recent progress on the geometry of thin exceptional sets in Manin's Conjecture.
This is an expository article on the theory of formal group laws in homotopy theory, with the goal of leading to the connection with higher-dimensional abelian varieties and automorphic forms. These are roughly based on a talk at the…
In the following article a Ph.D. student of V.I.~Arnold gives a personal account on his teacher who unexpectedly passed away earlier this year.
Alternative set theory (AST) may be suitable for the ones who try to capture objects or phenomenons with some kind of indefiniteness of a border. While AST provides various notions for advanced mathematical studies, correspondence of them…
The article presents the main milestones of the science and technology biography of Ivan Edward Sutherland. The influence of the family and the school on the development of its research competencies is shown, and little-known biographical…
